Keep the Killer Asleep: Poems

In this angry yet melancholy homage to AIDS' soldiers, Steven Blaski builds a bridge between the rarefied and the mundane, conjuring a world in language that is spare, provocative and elegant. With sorrow, anger, passion and wit, Blaski pays tribute to those who have fallen and those who continue to fight oppression, all the while exploring the details which inform the poet's own experiences. Keep the Killer Asleep is an invocation against what would destroy us, a defiant yet affirming work from an incredibly gifted, emerging talent.
